To solve the exercise it may be a little more practical to graph the QRS triangle:

Since two of the angles of the QRS triangle are congruent, that is, they measure the same, then the QRS triangle is isosceles. This implies that the SQ and SR sides measure the same.

Therefore, the length of RS is 8.
